"There is a situation, and it is a big situation!" Baggul said excitedly and seriously.

"Talk about it." Alexis was about to listen.

Bagul first sold Guanzi. He first took Alexis to sit down, and then let his men bring freshly marinated premium beef jerky and beer (since Daves invented this kind of marinating After the beef jerky was used as military rations, it was gradually loved by the citizens and became a delicious snack for the Dionian people, just like dried figs and dates): "I usually go to your barracks. I’m going to disturb you here, you rarely come to Grumentum today. In return, I have to treat you well. Let’s drink and talk."

Bagul is telling the truth. The camp of the Third Army was built between Picosis, Grumentum, and Niutum. Of course, the current commander of the Third Army, Alexis, can no longer resemble the former commander Hironi. Moose stayed in Turei (the system was not perfect at that time). During his tenure as the commander of the army, he had to live in the camp. Of course, the construction in the camp was not simple, it was more like a militarized town. Although Bagul had resigned from the military, he still ran to the camp every three days when he had free time to participate in military training, military competitions... after going back and forth, he actually became friends with Alexis.

Alexis also knows his bold personality, so he didn't reject him at the moment, grabbed a piece of beef, chewed and said, "What is the situation?"

"Samonets gathered a large army on the border of Potentia. It is said that there are at least 20,000 people!" Bagul said with some excitement.

Twenty thousand people! Alexis was surprised, put down the beef jerky in his hand, and asked eagerly: "Are you sure that the Samonais are going to attack Pau Tia?!"

"Potentia's messengers have come to me for help, and there are still fakes!" Bagul took a sip of beer and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Puamote, that guy doesn't usually love The stubborn old man who took care of us Dionians really couldn’t sit still this time. Just after Potentia’s envoy asked for help, he hurried to Turei..."

"Bagul, this matter must be taken seriously, especially when we declare war on Lockley!" Alexis said with a solemn expression. Obviously, he considered the problem deeper than Bagul, and before he took office, Daves had solemnly reminded him: The third army is based in the Lucania area, and the current task is to stabilize Lucania. The situation is clearing out the shovel against Dionia, but the future target is the Samoneites in the north. This is a powerful and terrifying race, you must not take it lightly!

"I must go back now, summon the soldiers of the Third Army to prepare for combat, and at the same time send the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Squad to investigate the strength of the Samonais, and notify Master Daves as soon as possible." , Alexis stood up immediately.

As a person living in southern Lucania since he was a child, Bagul did not have a deep impression of the Samonais. In addition to the successive victories of the Dionian Army in the past few years, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant and underestimates the enemy. But seeing Alexis being so cautious, he also paid attention to it: "Should we also prepare the citizens of the Legion Reserve?"

"Of course! I have a bad feeling, this is probably a big battle!" Alexis said solemnly.

"Well, a big battle!" Baggul replied, with more excitement on his face.

…………………………

"My lord! Master Daves! Maltius is awake! Maltius is awake!..." Helps cried out excitedly as soon as he entered the living room.

"Really?!" Daves, who was talking to Little Heraclide, stood up with a surprise look on his face.

"As you said before,'The venom is separated from the mother body (referring to the poison) and exposed to the outside for a long time, and the toxicity may be reduced...'. It seems that this is indeed the case, Martius’s Awakening is a good example!" No wonder Helps is so excited. Most of Dionia is mountainous, and people are bitten by snakes and insects every year. Turri Hospital has no good treatment for this. At most, it is to clean up and bandage the wound, and use some nourishing medicines, mainly relying on the patient to heal it. This time, under Davos's prompt, the hospital gave Martius meticulous care and medication, and finally saw the results, providing them with valuable experience and confidence in the future treatment of snake wounds and other poisonous bites.

Davos is not in the mood to discuss medical issues with him at the moment, and asks urgently: "How is Maltius now?"

"Oh, he wakes up, he can open his eyes and move, but his limbs are weak, and he has some difficulty speaking. Now he can only lie in a hospital bed. It seems that it will take some time to recover."

"Take me to see him." Daves said, pulling Helps out.

"My lord, are you still going to see the construction of the Saraceno River Stone Bridge today?" Little Heraclide asked hurriedly.

"Didn't you just set up the bridge piers, I'll see when you lay the bridge deck." Davers waved his hand and said apologetically.

"Okay." Little Heraclide knew how much Maltius' awakening had affected Daves, so he had no choice but to follow Daves out of his mansion, but he happened to run into the Senate. Rodom, captain of the guards sent.

"Master Daves! There are two more adults! The Senate informs you to go to an emergency meeting!"

"What's going on?!" Davos hurriedly asked seeing Rodom looking nervous.

"Potentia asked us for help, saying,'Samonets are ready to invade Potentia!"

Samonet attacking Potentia at this time? ! Daves was surprised, the news was like a jar of cold water that extinguished the joy in his heart.

…………………………

The Senate had a fierce debate about "whether to send a large number of reinforcements to rescue Potentia".

The supporters believe that: Potentia is an alliance of Dionia. According to the covenant and morality, Dionia must provide assistance! Moreover, although the Lucania region has been governed for nearly five years, the rule of the Dionian Alliance is still not very stable. If the Samoneites rush into the rule of Dionian, this will surely be caused again. The turmoil in the region, Dionia should fight back the Samonais as soon as possible before starting a war with Lokri and even Syracuse, to avoid fighting on both sides.

Opponents believe that there is Potentia’s own army in the Lucania area, the Third Army is stationed there, and Elia is an ally. The assembled army is more than enough to deal with the Samonais. No more reinforcements are needed. When Dionia was about to wage war on Lokri and Syracuse, it was not appropriate to draw troops north, and instead made the forces in his own territory empty.

Daves did not make a final decision. He was very entangled in his heart: the power of the Samoneites, he has felt in the history of the past life, this mountain race has continued to fight against the flourishing Rome for decades , Defeated the Romans many times and allowed them to endure the "yoke door humiliation"... Daves did not think that the 3rd Army and Potentia’s army alone would be able to deal with it. Before, we should do our best to put it out.

But before the war with Lokri, there was a large-scale invasion by the Samoneites. If it had nothing to do with Dionysius, he didn't believe it. He thought he had designed a trap and waited for Dionysius to jump, but he didn't expect that Dionysius would directly instigate the Samoneites to attack from the north, making Dionyia uncomfortable. Before fighting in Syracuse, he felt Dionysius' troubles. This is a terrible opponent! He wanted to re-examine the tyrant of Syracuse who taught himself a lesson.

But now he can be sure that Syracuse is determined to fight Dionia. He is only worried about the tyrant of Syracuse. He is more vigilant about this. This is also one of the main reasons why he didn't make a rash decision.

Davers returned home with great thoughts, and before he had time to drink, he learned that Ansitanos had come to visit him, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Ansitanos, I am finally waiting for you. It's back!" Daves said half-jokingly and half expectantly.

"I have traveled more during this time than I have traveled in previous years combined." Ansitanos also replied with a smile.

"That's because you walked too little in the past few years. In the future, you will have to go out for more diplomatic activities like this."

"Don't, this has already delayed me a lot of time to write history books."

"Going out more, isn't it because you can investigate the situation of other city-states on the spot, so that your history will be more vivid and detailed. In those days, Herodotus traveled all over the Mediterranean..."

The two went into the living room talking and laughing.

"My lord, the Carthaginian Senate rejected our request for alliance." After sitting down, Ancitanos said sternly: "They even refused to sign a friendly trade treaty with us."

For Carthage’s refusal to form an alliance, Daves can understand. After all, Carthage had just ended the war with Syracuse. Now that the relationship between Dionia and Syracuse is tense, Carthage, as a neighbor, can naturally feel the tension between the two, and will certainly not jump in easily. But it is a bit strange to refuse to sign a trade treaty with Dioria! Carthage is rich in the Western Mediterranean because of its maritime trade!

"Is Carthage so afraid of Syracuse and don't want to get involved with us?" Daves was a little surprised.

"I took a closer look at some things in the city of Carthage. The Magonis family, who had a dominant position in the Carthage Senate and had a strong interest in Sicily, was lost because of the failure of the previous war. After gaining power, he was forced to accept the task of building a new colonial city on the Iberian Peninsula assigned by the Carthaginian Senate and the family moved. Now the Senate has the right to speak in another big family, the patriarch named Hanno, who is not only conservative. , And he prefers land to sea trade, so he put forward a slogan, "Go inland, let citizens get more land."..." Ancitanos said slowly

Does this mean that Carthage will go to war with Libya? Daves’ heart moved: Compared to Syracuse, which was relatively old for Carthage’s defeat, Libya had a vast territory but many tribes, but it was a mess. It was much easier to deal with. Carthage’s fight was "lost from Sicily." "Retrieved from Libya" is a good idea. But in this way, Carthage would not provoke Syracuse.
